SAN FRANCISCO, January 03, (THEWILL) – Two weeks after the appointment of a new Managing Director/CEO for the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, the change is yet to be effected on the management portal of the website. http://www.nddc.gov.ng/management.html
Although, the homepage is flanked by a picture explained thus “the newly appointed Acting Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer NDDC, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, receiving handover notes from the immediate past Managing Director/CEO, Sir (Barr.) Bassey Dan-Abia, at the NDDC Headquarters, Port Harcourt, Rivers State on the 21 st December, 2015”.
The site still has the immediate past Managing Director/CEO, Sir (Barr.) Bassey Dan-Abia, as Managing Director while the newly appointed Acting Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer NDDC, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari was not found.
In a statement by the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on December 21, President Muhammadu Buhari announced the sack of Mr. Dan-Abia.
In his stead, he announced the appointment of the immediate past Rivers State Information Commissioner, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, as acting Managing Director, pending the appointment of a substantive board.
Dan-Abia, an indigene of Akwa Ibom State, was appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2013 and served two terms as the representative of Akwa Ibom on the NDDC Board
